Privacy

Simply opening this site measures nothing and sets no cookie. Only once you agree do we load Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited, Dublin) and Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, USA). Before that, no request reaches either of them.

If you agree, both set cookies and receive your IP address. Microsoft Clarity records the visit: mouse movements, clicks, scrolling and the pages opened. This produces replayable sessions and heatmaps. Entries in text fields and content recognised as sensitive are masked automatically.

We look at this data only in aggregate, to see which pages are read and how people find us. We do not sell it and do not combine it with any other data.

Your decision stands until you make a new one, and you can do that at any time: change your choice.

The map in the “Find us” section comes from Google and only loads once you click “Load the map”, at which point your IP address is sent to Google. The address, directions and the route link are there without the map.

The fonts used are hosted locally on our own server and are not loaded from third parties. There is no other third-party content on this site.

Our host Sevalla serves the site; Cloudflare sits in front of it as protection against automated access and sets the technically necessary cookie __cf_bm for that purpose. Both process the usual server log data, including your IP address.

If you contact us by email or WhatsApp, we use your details solely to handle your enquiry and do not pass them on.
